Has a movie ever been made into a book?

Before I spill the tea with more of our beloved lists, I wanted to discuss this unconventional perspective when it comes to movies and books.

We are used to seeing multiple versions of the same book becoming into movies. But what about the other way around?

The fact is, while unusual it does exist multiple books inspired after movies!

Let’s review aspects of some of those:

  • While coming from an original source. The adaptations will always be unique!
  • The focus could be around a different character that wasn’t highlighted in the original version.
  • It could have the same structure of storytelling as when we watch movies that were books before.
  • In the world of art and expression, everything is possible!

Does that mean they lack creativity?

In most of the cases, as we already mentioned, is because every version has it’s own unique ingredients to create a very tasteful piece of art.

But…

In some other cases…

You are probably right. Sometimes is better not… To… Mess things up…

But let’s not burn bridges this time.
